I just wanted to move this comment up here for everyone to see just how insane some people can be. This was in response to the post about Dr. Laura’s apparently whacko son and it appears that he has company in his insanity:

you are full of shit you fat liberal fuck if it was not for people like dr.laura’s son your fat stupid ass would be killed by the islamofacist you fat ugly peice of shit you peacenicks are destroying this nation but trust me you liberal cowards are gonna get your punishment you stupid fucks we are gunnin’ for you and we are gonna get you just wait after the next big terrorist attack all you liberal fuckheads will be fair game you and the islamofacist just wait bitch soon it will be open season

This clear threat has been reported to his ISP, which is sbcglobal.net. If they have anything like a coherent abuse policy, this person’s account will be closed immediately. It can hardly be surprising that this idiot can’t put together a coherent and grammatically correct sentence.

We can always hope for an actual chronological age in the early teens and not just a mental age in that rage. He might, just might, still be issued his adult brain at some point in the future and become a functional human being.

I was especially amused by his repeated use of the singular. I hope someone catches this Islamofacist fellow before he strikes again.

A man is defined by his enemies. Since your enemies are incompetent morons who are batshit crazy, they define you as brilliant and rationality personified. Okay, you can gloat, but please gloat quietly.

Hmm… This could be Dick Cheney having some fun, which has been in short supply for him since they took his shotguns away, or maybe this is a new writing technique, “Stream of Unconsciousness”. Maybe Dembski will turn him into Homeland Security for you?

It appears to me that this should be reported to the FBI. The consensus of the comments and Mr. Braytons’ statement seems to be that this fellow is just a garden variety whackjob. However, after the incident at VPU, I think that even seemingly garden variety whackjobs should be taken seriously.

“It’s also notable how this person is yearning for a terrorist attack, so that he/she can start gunning people he/she hates.”

Variants of that sentiment, usually expressed more eloquently, are pretty common on the blogosphere these days. Glenn Reynolds made similar comments about the media, for instance, albeit in his usual faux-detached manner, ie: “Nice liberal media you’ve got there. Shame if something were to happen to it.” Check out the trolls at Sadly, No! or other leftie provocateur sites for frequent comments along those lines.

It can hardly be surprising that this idiot can’t put together a coherent and grammatically correct sentence.

It’s sad, really. Sometimes I wonder if there’s a real, causal connection between incoherence of language and incoherence of thought. It seems, to me at least, that someone who lacks the ability to organize their ideas in a coherent fashion would also be more likely to hold irrational or inconsistent beliefs. And conversely, someone who has good language skills will be better able to organize his/her thoughts in order to find and correct possible inconsistencies in them.

I wonder if anyone’s ever done a study on that. I’d be interested in reading it if it exists.

Wes: I’m sure most professors assume such a correlation when they grade essay-test answers. As one of them said in a class I took, if you can’t express it in words, it’s probably because you don’t really understand it as much as you say you do.

I’m not sure, but I believe that issuing threats by mail or by wire is a federal crime. This may be too non-specific a threat to be considered by the FBI, but you might want to contact them and find out.
